    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I walk in the mornings and it is cold here in New York so lately I have been wearing mittens. I made these PVC driers because I sweat in them and they are hard to dry. I used to wear gloves but mittens are much warmer. Of course some people would use these in their quarantine tanks. :oops:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Diana, I am always in good spirits. :biggrin: Even my wife asks me How I am happy most the time. I think that comes from life experience. The things Americans (or anyone from a civilized place) have, most people in the world don't have and if you never spent time in those places, as a...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    The surgeon called and said the surgery went better than he expected. After all the surgeries on that shoulder he didn't think there would be any place to anchor the thing and he figured it was shredded. He said my shoulder bones are very big and beefy, probably because I worked commercial and...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I am ready to go now and it is 4:00am. I had eye muscle surgery many years ago and they had me naked on this stainless steel gourney in the operating room. I am sure they just took it out of the freezer or used it to hold all the Bud Lights just before the Superbowl game. The nurse took my...

    Maybe I can come out a hairier man!! The hospital just called. It is not 2:30, it is 6:00 am. I am happy about this but I wished thy told me earlier. Now I have to tell my friend to take me at 5:00am. She is sleeping here so I guess it isn't that big a deal. :D

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My surgery is set for 2:30 tomorrow and I will be in there for 5 hours all together unless of course I opt for hair plugs, tummy tuck or just a general tune up. I can't eat or drink all day but that won't be a problem. I will also do my 2 mile walk in the snow tomorrow but I doubt I will do any...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Being that it was almost 60 degrees yesterday and I washed my car. Today it is snowing. This is my morning walk just now. On my way back I walked through the "jungle" and I could see where Tarzan must have fell off a vine because I can see it broken Diana, I am pretty sure it is only...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Yesterday I went to the hospital for my pre surgery nonsense and one of the questions the nurse asked me was "If I wanted Aroma therapy"? I said, What! Why would I want aroma therapy? I just want my shoulder fixed. She said some people get nauseous with the anesthesia after surgery so we...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I went to the surgeon today and he gave me a "brace"/sling thing that looks like something out of the torture chamber in the tower of London. I have to wear it for 6 weeks so I won't be able to wave at Supermodels or put brakes on my car. Forget changing any water. Unless someone wants to...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Linear activator to lift the front of my tank to make it easier to feed fish after shoulder surgery. My arm will be in a brace for about 6 weeks so I won't be able to use it, not even to wave at a pretty girl or scratch my nose. :cool:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This morning my wife and I went to a diner for breakfast like we always do on Sundays. A young-er couple sitting near us picked up our check without saying anything on their way out. I don't know if it was due to my Viet Nam Veterans hat or the fact that my wife is handicapped. I am pretty...

    Good morning. I got back from my walk and it warmed up to about 15 degrees. This is the best time to walk as anyone can walk when it is 75 degrees. Thats for Sissies. :p But I can't figure out why someone would feel the need to get their pool serviced on a day like today. You can't make...

    Actually Diana, Tom Selleck, (my wife's favorite and my body double :biggrin: ) is about 76. Not really a new celebrity. :)

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just spent the morning trying to book a flight on Jet Blue. It used to be so simple. Now you have to go on their site and remember the password you used 2 months ago. Of course it won't work because you have to change your password because it was from before Tuesday. Now you need to have...
